Back again after a 4 months voyage overseas!!!
Here is the Armoured Cruiser RHNS Georgios Averof refited in the middle '30s.
New Engines, new machineries, new & extra armament!
What do you think?

It's mine design, I posted here cause the ship really exist but never refited as here!
I mixed some Condottieri 2 class CL clues, with aft main mast modified from Gaio Duilio class BB,
extra AA armament and 2 Funnels instead of origial 3! also Bridge's construction is new!

Idea of neverwhere's is to present reall life never-wheres, eg. drawings of ship-plans that never made into exisistence. Own versions out of real warships are naturally belonging to own desing section in order not to create confusion.

Therefore the thread moved.

A very plausible and passable rebuild, my friend; in fact so much that I would like very much to post it in my Royal Hellenic Cruiser Force thread, with your permission, of course!

Yes, she looks very realistic; and you've managed to capture how the Italian modernisation would look. :)

She is quite elegant! I absolutely love the idea of having modernized vessels from WWI! And also, I'm wondering should the funnels should be a bit higher? The exhaust would get all over the rear mast/crane. Is there a story behind it?
